I remember some gundam model kits are electroplated.... But than that's on a model kit and not a racket, I remember those kits scratch very easily
Then don't use plastic resin? Although there are exotic polymers that do conduct electricity. Don't think you'd use those though. I have to admit it's got me confused as well. Then again I last covered electroplating 5 years ago... Carbon graphite does conduct electricity so no problem there. Attach it to the anode by mistake and you have no racket though! (Not that I ever did something daft like that, admittedly it wasn't a racket.) What has me confused is why coat something made of graphite in metal/something conductive? Unless it's a very thin coat. Even then I'm not sure, it would just make it shiny, I can't see it aiding performance. I'm assuming the powers that be know what they're doing!
No photos because the racket are demos/prototypes. There are no logos and details on the rackets. They will not be representative of the final product.
I would trade my 4 apac racquets for one panda ultra 2 since I have no money AWESOME looking racquets. Love the purple!!!
They were, but further back in the deep dark depths of this thread Dink mentioned that having so many decals on the racket wasn't good for the graphite. Don't quote me on that, it was something that affected performance by an undefined amount if I remember correctly. Dink was started the whole new coating technique to resolve this. However in my opinion coating a racket in a thin layer of metal is unlikely to be any better or worse than decals/paint. Mind you for all you people obsessed with looks I guess sacrificing some performance is worth it. I have to say I don't mind something looking good if performance isn't affected though!
Power is in the hand of the wielder. The U2 will give you more power than the T1 if you can flex the shaft consistently. If not, it will give you less.
